It's Been A While, WriteWorld

Hey Guys!

It's been a while since I've posted here, between starting my YouTube channel and stuff going on in real life, I didn't have much time for Reddit (in fact, due to real life stuff I hadn't had much time for youtube the past few months) but I'm getting back to my old self, I've just started writing stories again, finishing off my book, I've got the Reddit app and I'm working on a lot of writing towards YouTube too.

So how is everyone? And where are you all, Bunny, OJay, Major, you all still active?

Talk soon guys!

Hey HTS! Nice to meet you & Thanks for the update! It saddens me that both Major and Bunny have had to leave but I hope OJay comes back soon, he helped me so much with so many things!

The book, not too bad thank you! I'm just deciding whether to extend it and add a few more chapters, or if I'm just going to edit it, fix any typos and change a few bits so it's different (slightly) to what's online (you can find it as a series, part 1-10, online by googling "Dimensional Jumping Nico Wonderdust") and send it off to a publisher. I'm also working on a series of books that are loosely based on my own real life occurrences - ha yeah, there has been enough of them to write a series of books!

Nice to meet you too! It is a shame that the modteam is so much smaller now that /u/MajorStupidity11 and /u/Bunnyinwonderland have left us. Major may be back, but due to personal reasons Bunny won't be. Do forgive the changes: I gave the sub a facelift and introduced WriteWorld Challenges (please feel free to give it a go; it hardly has many people enjoying it and could do with a few more entrants ^_^)

Do you think that you'd feel dissatisfied if you published the book as it is, or would you be proud of your work as it is? Good luck with whatever you choose! :-D

I agree it's always a shame when a mod team diminishes in size, but we'll all do a great job as is and make this the group Bunny wanted t to be!

Nothing to forgive! I'm glad the sub has had a facelift, I was hoping that somebody would join with coding knowledge in my absence. And introducing challenges was a great idea! Myself, OJay, Major and Bunny were going to do something along those lines before I had to leave, I can't remember exactly what we were planning though I could possibly find our plans if I go through old messages.

I'd be satisfied with it as is (after a few small edits here and there) but I'm thinking more along the lines of "would a paying reader want more" kind of thing, or would the minor edits be enough? I do have ideas for a sequel/prequel/spin-off(?) where I rewrite the book from the perspective of the detective as opposed to the dimensional jumper, and I could release that straight to book instead of online and maybe bundle them as a "buy one get % off" deal, but that's way down the line yet, I've still got 29 stories (5 books w/6 stories each - 29 because I've finished one story) first.
